I haven’t envisioned my aviation career taking me beyond dispatching at a specific major, and now I wonder if I lack ambition.
I’m curious about the dispatchers who have moved on to jobs outside the SOC (but stay with the airline so FAA jobs don’t count). I have heard of many who end up flying and know one who is now a maintenance controller, but are there former dispatchers occupying the C-suite, for example? How did they get there? Do most dispatchers you know want to stay on the desk into retirement or do they want to do something else within the company?
Let’s get personal. Have you considered what you want the tail end of your career to look like?
